Isn’t that what the series Succession was based on? I think that show does a great job in showing how billionaires control the narrative.

Couldn’t that also work in your favor? People starting to question why such large movement isn’t covered on major news outlets?

I fee like these movies are aimed at someone like me, a tech nerd that loves action movies and rides a motorcycle. But somehow, these movies don’t resonate with me at all. IMHO the plot is weak, half of the time the movie doesn’t make any sense, it just feels like a random vibe movie which just isn’t for me.

I buy mostly Dutch and Belgian brands from a local store. For example brands like Soci3ty, Zilton, Blue Industry.

You can probably do the same near your location, find some local qualitative brands. Usually these are too small to gamble with questionable quality, so they will usually ensure higher quality standards than the mass producers. Meanwhile you also support some local businesses, which is nice in this day and age.

Then there is someone like me that still wears 5 to 10 year old clothes that still look fresh 🙈

Anti-fa is short for anti-fascism. The Nazi’s in WWII were fascist. US soldiers in WWII killed Nazi’s, therefore killed fascists. If that isn’t anti-fa, I don’t know what is.

It’s a scheme to squeeze the boomers one more time and ensure millennials and younger don’t get any inheritance either.

Then it’d probably also surprise you that some German manufacturers use similar doorhandles as well (e.g. BMW).

It’s due to other reasons though. Mainly for its profile and sharp edges. The other Tesla cars, such as the popular Model 3 and Y use similar door handle mechanisms like the Cybertruck and are allowed to be sold in Europe. This exact freak accident can happen with any of those models as well.

On the one hand, these strikes have had a direct effect on the national debt, as the country wasn’t able to increase pension age or cut benefits. On the other hand, it might lead to the government taxing the wealthy more and stopping the endless asset hoarding by the rich, which prices out everyone else. If France taxes the rich, they might be able to persuade the rest of the European nations to do the same. Then it might become effective for once.

Come on Trump, you can do better. Here in The Netherlands the government has signed a motion banning antifa already last week! Try to keep up, will ya? /s

It’s so unfortunate that journalism is dead, otherwise we could’ve had some interesting discussions on this topic. For instance, I would like really like to know what would happen if a WWII veteran would speak out against fascism. Will we (The Netherlands or in this case the US) lock that person up?

Faith is such an interesting concept. Believers can make up interesting statements like this, but if this statement is true, then so is the following: God was okay with Epstein’s activities, otherwise God would’ve intervened. Right?

Spotify used to do that very well, but the last years it enshittified. Now it’s very difficult to find new artists or new music, heck even finding a playlist that isn’t auto generated by Spotify has become a challenge. Everything is now pushed by Spotify and they select which artists you listen to, the artists that make Spotify more money.

This seems to be the trick for great food as well. I’m not Italian, but every time I talk about food with an Italian they explain how few ingredients they actually use and how quick they can make dishes. It’s more about qualitative ingredients than anything else.

And it’s working! It’s so funny to see companies like McDonalds advertise with: “Your burger is produced in Europe” or the like. At least they seem to acknowledge that they are biting off one of the hands that feed them, good.

Not just that, even as a company I would be seriously anxious when I know my business can be fully run by AI. That means that others can replicate your business very easily, which generates lots of competition, resulting in a race to the bottom. Which might even be good for consumers somehow.

I still don’t see how getting 5G is seen as a bad thing. Of all the side effects they could come up with, they picked one that is genuinely useful? Come on… They can do better.

Obviously it’s irrelevant, because he is in there and we all know it.

As much as I would like to believe that, I doubt it though. Trump isn’t the mastermind behind these plans, he is merely a puppet. Puppets are easily replaceable.

For me personally, it’s about balance. Working from home full time during COVID was hell, felt like trapped in my cell really. Going to the office every day feels exhausting due to traffic and open space office design can be very noisy. But meeting in the middle, going to the office once or twice a week is perfect for me. Enough time to work from home, stay focused. But also enough time to connect with colleagues.
